FRIENDSHIP’S POWER. The cloud that wraps the sky in gloom And frowns upon tho earth, awhile Dispelß, and leaves, for brightness, room, When gentle sunbeams sweetly smile.— So, when the heart with sorrow seems To earthly joys and pleasure dead, A, ray of Friendship softly gleams, Restoring light and hope instead ! Sweet is the power that friendship may, Like Angel visits fair, impart, - To shed a calm and holy ray Upon the lone and wearied heart— Dry up the tears, which sorrow makes From weary eyelids wildly flow, And lift on wings of seraph light The heart from earthly cares or woe. Oh 1 glorioas boon from Heaven sent To cheer man on his rugged way, Our mighty Savior gladly lent To thee a kind, celestial ray ! That thou might steal npon the heart While in its pilgrimage below, And, with thy holy light, impart That peace thou cvcrcan’st bestow. Hickory Grove, Providence Twp., Sep : t. 1857 NR. BUCHANAN’S SPEECH, (EXTRACTS,) In Senate, January 22, 1840. What bus been the iinancial history of the country for the lust tweuly-live years ? I cun speak with pos itive knowledge upon this subject duriug the period of eighteen years since 1 first came into public life. It has been a his.ory of constant vibration—of ex travagant elpansions in the business of the country, succeeded ny ruinous eontraotiuus. At successive intervals many of the best and most enterprising men of the country have been crushed. They have fallen victims at the shrine of the insatiate and in satiable spirit of extravagant banking and specula tion. Starting at the extreme point of depression of One of these periods, wu liud that the country has been glutted with foreign merchandise, and it re quires ull our ellorls to pay the debt thus contracted to foreign nations. At ibis crisis the banks can do .nothing to relieve the people. In order to preserve their own existence, they are to contract their loans and their issues, in the hourof distress, when their assistance is most needed, they can do nothing for their votaries, livery article sinks in price, men are unable to pay their debts, and wide-spread ruin pervades the land. .During this first year of the cycle, we arc able to import but comparatively little foreign'merchandise, and this affurds the country an opportunity of recruiting itsexhausted energies. The next year the patient begins to recover. Domestic manufactures flourish in proportion as foreign goods becomo scarce. The industry uud enterprise of our citizens have been exerted with energy, and our pro - ductiona have liquidated the foreigudebt. The third year a fair business is done. The country presents a flourishing appearance. The banks, relieved from the drains of specie required for foreign export, be gin once more to expand, and tempt the unwary to their ruin. Property of all descriptions commands a / fair price. The fourth or fifth year the era of extrav agant banking and speculation returns, again to be succeeded by another ruinous revulsion. This wu3 the history of the country up till 1837. Since then we have travelled tho road to ruin much rapidly than in former yonrs. Before that '■period it had required from three to six years to get up an expansion and its corresponding explosion.— We have now witnessed the astounding fact that wo can pass through'all these changes, and even from' one eusponsiou Of specie payments to another, in little more than two*years. It is curious to observe with how much accuracy you can read the cvcr-chauging condition of this country in tho varied amount of our importations.— The year 1836 was one of vast expansion, and pro duced the explosion and suspension of specie pay ments in 1837. The imports were greatly diminished in 1837, being less than they had been in 1836 by nearly fifty million of dollars, in 1838 they sunk down to twenty-seven millions less than they had been in 1837, and nearly seventy-seven millious less than .they were in 183 b. In 183‘J we had another expansion, and our imports were forty-four millions of dollars greater than they had beeu in 1838. This expansion preceded the explosion and suspension of specie payments in tho month of October last. Thus we have become such skilful architects of ruin, that a single year was sufficient to prepare the late explo sion. Tbore never has existed a nation on earth, except our own, that could endure such rapid and violent expansions and contractions. It is the buoyancy of youth—it is the energies of our popuhitiou—it is the spirit which never quails before difficulties—which enables us to endure such shocks without utter ruin. Yes, Bir, a difference iu the amount of our imports, between the years 1b3(3 and 1838, of seventy-seven millions of dollars, is sufficient to cxcito the astonish ment of the world. ♦ W hat causes chiefly operated to produce this speedy recurrence of the second explosion and tho second suspension of specie payments ? Threo may bo men tioned. In the lirst place, after tho bank suspension of 1837, every person who was friendly to well-regu lated banks, if such a thing be possiblo under the present system, ardently desired that the different State Legislatures might imposo upon them sonio wholesome restrictions. It was expected that they would be compelled to keep a certuin amount of specie in their vaults in proportion to their circula tion and deposits; that the foundation of a spccio basis for our paper currency should bc-laid by pro prohibitiDg the circulation ot bank notes at the first under the denomination of ten and afterwards under that of twenty dollars ; that tho amount of their div idends should be limited ; and, above all, that upon the occurrence of another suspension their doors should be dosed at once, and their affairs be placed in the hands of commissioners. The different Legis latures met. Much indignation was expressed at tho conduct of tho bunks. They wero severely threat ened ; but at last they proved too powerful for the people. Indeed, it would ulmost- seem as if most of the Stato Legislatures had met for no other purpose than to legalize the previous suspension of specie payments. No efficient restrictions were imposed; and the banks were thus taught that they might thereafter go unpunished—unwhipped of justice.— Past impunity prevented them from roducing their business and ourtailiDg their profits in such a manner as to render them secure in the day of trial They have fallen again ; I fear again to enjoy the same impunity. In the second place, the immense amount of money loaned to many of the States in England, a large ijortion of which was brought home in the form of Sumign merchandise, afforded great facilities for over- or rather overbuying. in the third place, the conduct of the Bank of the United States greatly tended to produce these excessive importations. That institution became the broker for the sale of all State bonds in Europe. It endeavored to monopolize tho entire cotton trade of the country; and it drew bills of exchange on Eng land, most freely, at moderate rates, against the pro ceeds of the bonds and ot its cotton. Every tempta tion was thus presented to speculations in foreign merchandise. These three causes combining, have occasioned a second suspension of speeie payments within two years after tho first, and produced this bloated credit system, from the wreck of which our country is now deeply suffering. I most heartily concur with the Senator from Ken tucky in one of his positions. Wo certainly produce too little and import too much. Our expanded credit system is the groat cause of this calamity. Confine it within safe and reasonable bounds, and this dis astrous effect will no longer be produced. It is not in the power of Congress to do much towards a consummation so desireable. Still we shall do all we can; and the present bill will exercise some in fluence in restraining the banks from making extrav agant loans and emitting extravagant issues. What effect has this bloated system of credit pro duced upon the morals of the country V In the commercial cities, it has converted almost all men of business into gamblers. Where is there now to be found the old-fashioned importing merchant, whose word was as good as his bond, and who was content to grow rich, as our.fathers did, by the successive and regular profits of many years of patient indus try? Such men wero tho glory and pride of com merce, and derated tho character of their country both at homo and abroad. I ask, where are they ? Is not the race almost extinct ? All now desire to grow rich rapidly. Each takes his chanco in the lottery of speculation. Although thero may be a hundred chances to one against him, each, eagerly intent upon tho golden prize, overlooks tho inter vening rocks and quicksands between him and it, and .when he fondly thinks he is about to clutch it, he sinks into bankruptcy and ruin. Such has been the fate of thousands of our most enterprising citi zens. If the speculator should prove successful’ and win the golden prize, no matter by wbat moans ho may have acquired his wealth, this clothes him with hon or and glory. Money, money, money, confers tho highest distinction in society The republican sim plicity and virtue of a Macon would do subjects of ridicule on Wall street or Chestnut street. The .highest talent, directed by the purest patriotism, moral worth, literary and professional fame—in Bbort, every quality which ought to confer distinc* I tion in society—sink into insignificance when com- ! pared with wealth. Money is equivalent to a title j of nobility in our larger commercial cities. This is i the effect of* the credit system. We have widely departed from the economical hab its and simple virtues of our forefathers. These are the only sure foundations upon which our republican institutions can rest. The desire to make an osten- ; tatious display of rapidly acquired wealth has pro- i duced a splendor and boundless expense unknown | in former times. There is now more extravagance in our large commercial cities than exists in any i portion of the world, which I have ever seen, except among the wealthy nobility of England. Thank Heaven this extravagance has but partially reached the mountains and valleys of the interior. The peo ple there, so far as their potential voioe can be heard, are determined to put an end to this bloated credit system, which threatens to involve not only their private fortunes, but their political liberties in ruin. On Friday last, when I very unexpectedly ad dressed tho Senate, I stated a principle of political economy which I shall now read from the book._ It is this: ‘'That if you double the amount of 5 the necessary circulating medium in any country, you therefore double the nominal price of every article. If, when the circulating medium is fifty millions, an article should cost one dollar, it would cost two if, \ without any increase of the uses of a circulating ! medium, the quantity should be increased to one i hundred miliona.” The same effect would be pro- \ duced, whether the circulating medium were specie 1 or convertible bank paper mingled with specie. It j is tho increased quantity of the medium not its char- j acter, which produces this effect. Of course I leave j ou- oi view irredeemable bank paper. \ Let mo now recur to the proposition with which I ; commenced; and I repeat that I do not pretend to 1 mathematical accuracy in the illustration which 1 shall present. The United States carry on a trads with Germany and France; the former a hard-money country, and tho latter approaching it so, nearly as to have no bunk notes in circulation under the denom ination of five hundred francs, or nearly one hundred dollars. On the contrary, the United States is em phatically a paper-money country, having eight hundred banks of issue, all of them emitting notes of a denomination as low as five dollars, and most of them one, two, and threo dollar notes. For every dollar of gold and silver in the vaults of these banks, they issue three, four, five, and some of them as high asjten, and even fifteen, dollars of paper. . This pro duces a vast but ever-changiDg expansion of the cur rency, and a consequent increase of the prices of all articles, the value of which is not regulated by for eign demand, above the prices of similar articles in Germany and France. At particular stages of our expansions, we might with justice apply the principle which I have stated to our trade with these countries, and assert that, from the great redundancy of our currency, articles are manutacturod in France and Germany for one-half of their actual cost in this country. Let me present an example. In Germany, where the currency is purely mctalic, aud the cost of everything is reduced to a hard-money standard, a piece of broadcloth can be manufactured for fifty dollars, the manufacture of which in our country, from the expansion of our paper currency, would cost one hundred dollars? What is the consequence? Tho foreign French or German manufacturer im ports his cloth into our country, and sells it for a hundred dollars. Does not every person perceive that tho redundancy .of our currency is equal to a premium of ono hundred per cent, in favor of the foreign manufacturer ? No tariff of protection, un less it amouuted to prohibition, could.-.counteract this advantage in favor of foreign manufactures. I would to Heaven that I could arouse the attention of every manufacturer of the nation to this important subject. The foreign manufacturer will not receive our bank notes in payment. He will take nothing home except gold and silver, or bills of exchange, which are equivalent, lie does not expend this money here, where he would be compelled to support his family, and to purchase his labor and materials at the same rate of prices which ho receives for his manufactures. On the contrary, ho goes home, purchases hia labor, his wool, and all other articles which enter into his manufacture, at half their cost in this country, and again returns to inundato us with foreign woolens, aud to ruin our domestic manufactures. I might cite many other examples, but this, I trust, will be snflicieut to draw public attention to the subject.— This depreciation of our currency is, therefore, equiv alent to a direct protection granted to tho foreign over the domestic manufacturer. It is impossible that our manufacturers should be able .to sustain such an unequal competition. Bir, 1 solemnly believe that if we could but reduce this inflated paper bubble to any thing liko reason able dimensions, New England would become tho most prosperous manufacturing country that the sun ever shone upon. Why cannot we manufacture goods, and especially cotton goods, which will go into suc cessful competition with British manufactures in for eign markets ? Have wc not the necessary capital ? Have wo not tho industry ? Have we not the ma chinery? And, above all, are not our skill, energy, and enterprise probervial throughout the world ?■— Land is also cheaper here than in any other country on tho face of the earth. We possess every advan tage which Providence can bestow upon us for the manufacture of cotton; but they are all counteracted by the folly of man. The raw material costs us less than it does tho English, because thisis an article the price of which depends upon foreign markets, and is not regulated by our own inflated currency. We, therefore, save tho freight of the cotton across tho Atlantic, and that of the manufactured article on its return here. What is the reason that, with all these advantages, and with the protective duties which our laws afford to the domestic manufacturer of cotton we cannot obtain exclusive possession of the home market, and successfully contend for the markets of the world ? It is simply because we manu facture at the nominal prices of our own inflated cur rency, and are compelled to sell at tho real prices of other nations. Reduce our nominal to the real standard of prices throughout the world, and you cover our country with blessings and benefits. I wish to Heaven I could speak in a voice loud enough to bo heard throughout New England ; beoause, if the attention of manufactrors could once be directed to the subject, their own intelligence and native sagacity would teach them how injuriously they are affected by our bloated banking and credit system, and would enablo them to apply tho proper correc tive. Although this bill will not have as great an in fluence as I could dosire, yet, as far as it goes, it will benefit the laboring man as much, and proba bly more, than any other class of society. What is it he ought most to desire ? Constant employment, regular wages, and uniform reasonable prices for tho noccssaries and comforts of life which he re quires. Now, sir, what has been his condition under our system of expansions and contractions? lie has suffered more by them than any other class of socie ty. The rate of his wages is fixed and known, and they are the last to raise with the increasing expan sion, and the first to fall when the corresponding re vulsion occurs. He still continues to receive his dollar per day, whilst the price of every article which he consumes is rapidly rising. He is at length made to feel that, although he nominally earns os much dr oven more than he did formerly, yet, from .the in creased price of all the necessaries of life, tifreannob support his family. Hence, the strikes for higher wages, and the uneasy and excited feelings which have at different periods existed among the laboring classes. But tho expansion at length reaches the ex ploding point, and what does the laboring man now Buffer ? He is for a season thrown out of employment altogether. Our manufactures are suspended ; our public works are stopped ; our private enterprises of different kinds are abandoned ; and, whilst others are able to weather tho storm, he can scarcely prooure the means of bare subsistence. Again, sir: who, do you suppose, held the greater part of tho worthless paper of the one hundred and sixty-five broken banks to which I have referred ? Certainly it was not the keen' and wary speculator, who snuffs danger from afar. If you were to make the search, you would find more broken bank notes in the cottagos of the laboring poor than any where else. And these miserable sbinplasters, where are they ? After the revulsion of 1837, laborers were glad to obtain employment on any terms, and they often received it upon the express condition that they should accept this worthless trash in payment. Sir, an entiro suppression of all bank notes of a lower denomination than the value.of one week's wages of the laboring man Is absolutely necessary for his pro tection. He ought always to receive his wages in gold and silver. Of all men on the earth, the labor er is most interested in having a sound and stable currency. CARDS. DR.

The enlarged scale of the work will admit of the great advantage of clearly designating every public and private improvement, and attaching the name thereto; also, of ascertaining with more piecision, any re quired distance throughout thecounty. Every public Road and Stream, Mill, Mill Race and Mill Dam, Store, Hotel, Post Office, Place of Worship, School House, Smith Shop. Ac., Ac., will be acuratoly shown thereon. The Dwellings also, with the names of owners attached, will be inserted in the proper position. An enlarged City Plan, and Plans of the Boroughs and principal Villages, will be nserted In the margin. A Table, showing the correct dis tance from each place of importance to that of every other in the county, will be npon the Map; also, a Statistical Table, and views of the principal County Buildings Without a re-survey of the whole county, an accurate map of it cannot be published ; we have already made sur veys of a a number of the Townships, and many of the In habitants of the county are aware of the time and pains we have taken to perfect them. We will be equally assiduous in our endeavors to make this a reliable and valuable work, and hope to merit a share of public patronage.
